Survey of Bangladesh

SOB traces its institutional lineage to the Bengal Survey founded 1 January 1767 by the East India Company; after partition (14 August 1947) it became Survey of Pakistan with a Dhaka regional office comprising 2 directorates, 2 field parties, 1 drawing office, 1 photogrammetric office, and a geodetic department; it became Survey of Bangladesh upon independence in 1971. The Surveyor General holds the rank of Brigadier General from the Corps of Engineers, Bangladesh Army. established_year is recorded as 1971 (legal successor state entity); the 1767 colonial founding is noted here for context.
